Installation This section describes how to install the Remote Operator for basic control and monitoring of a soft starter. The Remote Operator is pre-configured to control a soft starter once control supply power is applied to both devices. For basic operation, no parameter adjustments are required on the Remote Operator or the soft starter. In order to use the Remote Operator's 4-20 ma analogue output to monitor motor current, follow the instructions in the section 4-20 ma Analogue Output on page 8. Connection The Remote Operator requires a minimum of three electrical connections - the external power supply, the chassis earth and the RS485 Starter port to the soft starter. All external wiring, except the chassis earth (M4 stud provided), is connected to spring operated clamp connector terminals with a maximum wire size of 2.5 mm 2. No special tools are required. Once the Remote Operator is mounted, connect it to the starter as illustrated below. Installation Mounting The Remote Operator is rated IP54 or NEMA 12 when mounted correctly in accordance with these instructions. It is intended for use on the flat surface of a panel, with all external wiring connected from behind the panel. The Remote Operator is supplied with a mounting bracket and four fasteners. The built-in gasket seal guarantees protection from outside the panel. Select the panel location of the Remote Operator. The required panel cutout is 92 mm x 92 mm. Place the Remote Operator through the cutout and locate the mounting bracket at the rear of the panel onto the four studs. Use the four fasteners to tighten the mounting bracket up to the rear of the panel. For use on a flat surface of a NEMA 1 or NEMA 12 enclosure. Grounding and Shielding Twisted pair data cable with earth shield is recommended. The cable shield should be connected to a GND device terminal at both ends and one point of the site protective earth. Termination Resistors In long cable runs prone to excessive noise interference, termination resistors should be installed between B1 (-) and B3 (+) of the soft starter and the Remote Operator. This resistance should match the cable impedance (typically 120 Ω). Do not use wire wound resistors.

Operation Operation Functionality Range The Remote Operator provides the following range of functions: Description Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick Stop) Starter status monitoring (Ready, Starting, Running, Stopping, Tripped) Performance monitoring (motor current, motor temperature) Trip code display 4-20 ma analogue output Operation MCD 201 MCD 202 MCD 203 The Remote Operator performs all soft starter functions except programming of the soft starter. The Remote Operator can only be used to program its own parameters. Soft starter parameters must be adjusted locally at the soft starter or through the serial communications network if connected. 177HA325.11 START RUN TRIP RS485 START STOP + Display AMPS TEMP CODE RESET DATA PROG Display Mode Status LEDs MCD 3000 Simultaneously pressing the Stop/+ and Reset/- pushbuttons initiates a quick stop, which immediately removes voltage from the motor, ignoring any soft stop time set on the starter. Feedback Display Mode: Indicates the data type shown on the display: Motor current Motor temperature Trip code Display: Indicates the value of the selected data. Status LEDs: Indicate the status of the starter, and of the RS485 link between the Remote Operator and the starter. The Start LED (Green) indicates that the soft starter is starting, running or stopping. The Run LED (Green) indicates that the soft starter is providing full voltage to the motor. The Trip LED (Red) indicates that the soft starter has tripped. The RS485 Status LED shows the condition of the serial link between the Remote Operator and the soft starter. When this is illuminated the connection is healthy. When the LED is flashing there has been loss of communication. Motor current and motor temperature information is only available from MCD 202 and MCD 3000 starters. If connected to an MCD 201 open loop soft starter or MCD 203 compressor starter, the display will show 2222 instead of motor current and 1.11 instead of motor temperature.

4-20 ma Analog Output 4-20 ma Analogue Output Overview The Remote Operator has a 4-20 ma analogue output for monitoring motor current. The 4-20 ma output is available on terminals B10, B11. The analogue output signal spans from 4 ma when the motor current is zero (when the soft starter is not running) to 20 ma when the motor current is 125% of the Motor FLC setting in the Remote Operator (Parameter 6). 3. Use the Stop/+ and Reset/- pushbuttons to adjust parameter values. Programming Mode closes when the Data/Prog pushbutton is pressed after Parameter 8. There is a 20 second timeout when the Remote Operator is in Programming Mode. Programming Mode will automatically close if no input is registered for 20 seconds. Any changes already made will be saved. Calibration The 4-20 ma output is available only when the Remote Operator is connected to MCD 3000 or MCD 202 models. The Remote Operator Motor FLC parameter (Parameter 6) must be adjusted to match the Motor FLC setting in the soft starter. The lower end of the analogue output signal can be calibrated using the Remote Operator Analogue Output 4 ma Offset parameter (Parameter 7). This is set to give a 4 ma output signal when the motor current is zero. The 4-20 ma analogue output must only be used for motor current monitoring and metering. It is not designed for process signal control use. Programming The Remote Operator uses only one Motor FLC setting. This function is not suitable for MCD 3000 applications using two parameter sets. When the 4-20 ma output is being used, the Remote Operator's Motor FLC and Analogue Output 4 ma Offset parameters (Parameters 6 and 7) must be set appropriately (see Calibration above). Programming can only be carried out while the soft starter is not running. Programming Procedure 1. To enter Programming Mode, hold down the Data/Prog pushbutton for four seconds. The default value of the first parameter will be displayed. 2. Use the Data/Prog pushbutton to advance to the next parameter. Programmable Parameters Par.

Troubleshooting General Faults The Remote Operator Display and Status LEDs can indicate abnormal operating or system conditions. This troubleshooting guide gives details of these conditions. Display Indication Problem Possible Solution No display No control supply voltage Check that correct voltage is present at terminals 1, 2. AMPS or TEMP LED flashing Four dashes on display and RS485 LED flashing Soft starter in restart delay mode The Remote Operator has detected a loss of communication on the RS485 link to the soft starter - Incorrect or no 4-20 ma analogue output signal Wait for the restart delay (programmed in the soft starter) to elapse. Verify and solve the cause for loss of communication. If communication is restored before the soft starter registers a Communications Failure, the display will return to active status and the RS485 LED will illuminate. If communications are restored after the soft starter registers a Communications Failure, the display will indicate a trip code. Use the Reset/- pushbutton to reset the soft starter fault. Check the correct voltage is present at terminals 1, 2. Check that correct polarity is used at terminals B10, B11. Check that the Motor FLC and Analogue Output 4 ma Offset parameters are set correctly. - The motor cannot be started Check that control voltage is connected to the starter. If connected to a MCD 200 starter, check that terminals A1-N2 are linked. Troubleshooting MG.17.E4.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark 9
